"Why are you up so early? Where are you going?" the voice of Wen Muqing rang in her ear.
His voice upon waking was a bit huskier than usual, and his gentle breaths were sprayed at her ear.
Ren Chuqing's body stiffened, "I need to go to Nannan. I promised her. If she wakes up and doesn't see me, she'll be scared."
"So Sister is going to keep the promise you made with the child, is that it?" he said.
"Yes," she responded.
"And if I let Sister go to keep this promise, what do I get in return?" he asked.
"In return?" Ren Chuqing was taken aback.
He hugged her tighter, his lips brushing her earlobe, "If there's no benefit for me, then I wouldn't want Sister to spend the time meant for me with that little guy."
This tone of voice sounded more like he was acting coy.
Acting coy… Ren Chuqing was startled by the word that flashed through her mind.
Wen Muqing couldn't possibly be acting coy with her, could he?
"Then what benefit do you want?" she turned around and asked.
